Election 2019: Our people must fight for Buhari's victory - Minister tells Enugu residents

Foreign affairs minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, says the southeast has a better deal in the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari in the Feb. 16 presidential election.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that Buhari will be in Enugu on Thursday, January 24 in continuation of his campaign tour.

A statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday, January 23, in Enugu by the special assistant on media to the minister, Mrs Sarah Sanda, said the president enjoys massive support in the area.

Onyeama, therefore, appealed to the people of the area to come out en masse to give the president a rousing welcome, in appreciation of his laudable achievements in the zone.

He said that the re-election of the president should not be limited to the APC as a party but should be across board within the zone.

“You have all been seeing what the other parts of the country have been doing. It is not a question of whether the president will win but a matter of by how much he will win.

“We want to be on the side of history and victory, because in years to come our children will look back and say ‘this was the moment the southeast got it right.

“Therefore, our people should come together and fight for the victory of President Buhari,” he said.

Onyeama said that the success of the president in the election would have a long term effect on the development of the area.

“It is not just about today and not just about tomorrow. For that reason, it is very important that we all work together,” he said.

He said that the growth of the Nigerian economy under the current administration had been a work in progress, adding that efforts needed to be made to sustain it.

“So it is absolutely important that the Economic Recovery and Growth Plans set up by the president are allowed to materialise and crystallise.

“The president has laid a very solid and sustainable foundation for our people and we must not allow that foundation to crumble now.

“So it is absolutely important that we do everything humanly possible to ensure his re-election and I am sure it will happen,” Onyeama said.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore Fulani has said that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, is not Fulani.

Saleh Alhassan who is the national secretary of the group was reacting to Atiku’s alleged claim that President Muhammadu Buhari is not a real Fulani.

At a rally in Jigawa, Atiku reportedly said a real Fulani man would not drag his followers into extreme poverty like what is happening under the All Progressives Congress administration.

He also noted that the fact that Atiku speaks Fulfulde does not make him Fulani.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
